S IDE\V ALK cafés took their first trouncing of the season when Mr. Arkus, the chemist, went to court on a charge of obstructing the sidewalk with chairs and tahles. \Ve happen to know that his tables do not obstruct the side- walk. \Ve live near his shop and if there were any obstruction at that point we would be running into it constant- ly and falling down. r-rhe sidewalks are wide, the pedestrians few . For the benefit of the courts, we wilJ gladly list the things that obstruct side- walks. They are: police parades, leger- dernain artists, swooners, hornecoming troops, 'Democratic rallies, people car- rying urnbrellas, peöple with dogs in leash, ladies walking four abreast while thinking about curtain materi- al, world prernières, friends of St. Patrick's Day rnarchers and their friends, safe-rnovers, men carrying long lengths of iron pipe, grown lads c hunking a ball against the side of a building, and truckmen's helpers who aren't helping. W E congratulate the Fifth r\ ve- nue Coach COlnpany on its neVl NUlnher 20, which has an east-west character rather than the conventIonal north-south. \Vhat a boon it must be for the river folk underneath the Queenshoro Bridge! \V c have often wondered how Miss r\nne Morgan, for instance, ever lnanaged to get fro111 her down-east h0111e at No. 3 Sutton Place to her favorite westerly project, the Alnerican W olnen's .l\sso- ciation at 353 \Vest F'ifty-seventh Street. 'T'he F'ifty-n in th Street cross- \ DODD town car rnight conceivably be called into play, but even with a fair wind the running tilne fro 111 First i\ venue to Cohllnblls Circle is thirty 111 in lites. Now, however, Bus Nurnber 20 clears up everything. F or a dime the west . M . M ' IS 1 ISS organ s. M OTI-IER'S DAY wouldn't have been the same this year had it not been for the kind act of John Dillinger, when he was hard-pressed in Mani- towish. )70U remember how Mr. Dil- linger and two of his associates rapped at the door of Mitchell's resort and or- dered the inrnates outside; how Mr. Mitchell eXplained that his wife had been sick and might take cold, and how Mr. Dillinger, even though hunted by the authorities, fetched a blanket, threw it around Mrs. Mitchell's shoul- ders with a "Here you are, Mother.." It was that perfect touch, knitting America together on the eve of the greatest holiday period in the calendar, Mamlnytide. No wonder Mr Dil- linger is the inspiration of our youth: he is 111dre than a great crilninal, he is a gl eat son. W E are jealous of C hcrnical and .ll1 etallurgícal Engineering, a trade journal puhlished by McGraw- Hill. It appears that, because of an editorial denouncing Hitler, C heJn. and lW et. has been banned in Gerlnany, a distinction not yet accorded us.. Not to have been banned in Gerlnany is, of course, sOlllething of a disgrace for a Christian publication, but we don't know just how you go about it. \Ve managed to get ourself banned in England for a short spell last winter through the c0111paratively si111ple and well-intentioned device of publishing a Punch parody, but Gerlnany is a lot harder. G'hclIz,. and Met. seems tu have 111anaged it by calling the little corporal flamboyant. ..A,ll right, here goes: Adolf Hitler is a flamboyant old .l\ryan. M R.. L. B. PALMER, of the News- paper Publishers' i\ssociation, says there is a conspiracy in Washington to change the philosophy of advertising -"in fact, to prohibit any advertising that is not literally true." It is rather revealing to observe the ferocity with 'which the advertising fraternity is fight-
